yeah checked it 2x. -- proofreading is like measuring. I cut it twice and
it's still too short.

You have a typo.
"sbfs" should be "sfbs".

I thinkthat the 6th word, "sbfs", is supposed to be "sfbs".
I haven't solved one of these in a long time, and I wouldn't have worked
on this one, except it was supposed to be on topic.
I wasn't disappointed in my expectation of a "corny" quote.
Incidently, this is the first time I tried to solve one on Notepad. I
started with two copies of the orginal string and make a database
as I went along, replacing lowercase letters by capitals in the 2nd
string and writing "e = T" in my database.
This turned out to be easier than just a pencil and paper. To "backup" I
could just copy and paste from the first string.

Geez. I took the Neander route and it worked just fine. I used *a*
notepad (lower case). I did almost get a paper cut; no SawStop on my desk.
